## "I don't think the question is, 'Will the Republicans lose [seats in] the midterm election?' " said G. Terry Madonna, a political scientist at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa. "The question is, 'How badly will they lose?' "
As a result, some Republican incumbents who thought themselves secure are girding for the worst by stockpiling campaign cash and, where necessary, spending it early. To coordinate political strategy, House GOP leaders have begun holding weekly meetings for staff members of about a dozen of the most vulnerable Republicans. ##
this is the problem with the political system in this country. it's not about creating laws and policy and representing the constituency. the only thing politicians are concerned with is being a politician (having power) and ensuring that they will remain a politician ( in power). what kind of a job focuses almost completely on simply retaining that job? as soon as they win their seat or position their focus automatically shifts to the next election and they start "stockpiling campaign cash" and "holding weekly meetings" to strategize on how to keep that seat or position. how many members of congress actually look at an issue and decide for themselves and their constituencies how they should vote, instead of slamming down the party stamp? they are all puppets of a few political masterminds behind the scenes in each party, or worse yet, a few corporate masterminds behind the scenes in each party, providing their puppets with the financial backing to keep the strings intact. am i living in denial? does the majority of this country not realize this? do they even care?
